Standby precautions
Before entering Standby mode, be sure to save your data.
Do not remove/install memory or remove power components:
• Do not remove/install the memory module. The computer or the module
could be damaged.
• Do not remove the Battery Pack.
In any of the above cases, the standby configuration will not be saved.
If you carry the computer on board an aircraft or into a hospital, be sure to
shut down the computer in hibernation mode or in shutdown mode to avoid
radio signal interference.
Benefits of standby
The standby feature provides the following benefits:
Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does
hibernation.
Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives no
input or hardware access for the duration set by the System Standby feature.
You can use the panel power off feature.
Executing standby
NOTE: You can also enable Standby by pressing Fn + F3. See Chapter 5,
Keyboard, for details.
You can enter standby mode in one of three ways:
1. Click start, click Turn Off Computer and click Stand by.
2. Close the display panel. This feature must be enabled. To enable it, select the
TOSHIBA Power Management Utility icon in the Control Panel and select
the Advanced tab and then set your Close the Lid options to Standby.
3. Press the power button. This feature must be enabled. To enable it, select the
TOSHIBA Power Management Utility icon in the Control Panel and select
the Advanced tab.
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when you
shut down the computer.
NOTES: 1. When the computer is shut down in standby
mode, the power indicator glows amber.
2. If you are operating the computer on battery
power, you can lengthen the operating time by
shutting down in hibernation mode. Standby
mode consumes more power.
